|---|---|---|---|
| Thermoblock | A boiler or thermoblock are espresso machine components create hot water for brewing and steam for frothing. Non-pump machines use pressure from steam, which is generated by boiling water in a sealed chamber. In a thermoblock arrangement, the high-pressure water pump forces cold water into the thermoblock after it is preheated. | View | None |
| Thermostat | A thermostat is a device that automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point. | View | None |
| Thermostatic radiator valve | A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is a self-regulating valve fitted to hot water heating system radiator, to control the temperature of a room by changing the flow of hot water to the radiator. | View | None |
| Thermostatic zone valve | A zone valve is a specific type of valve used to control the flow of water or steam in a hydronic heating or cooling system. | View | None |

| Tier ID |
This term is intended to capture the tier designation for a particular rate structure. For electricity pricing that is based on tiered pricing, each tier is allotted a certain maximum (kWh), above which the user is moved to the next tier that has a different unit pricing. For example - Tier 1 for rate schedule EV9 |
View | None |
| Tier Maximum |
The maximum amount of resource used at which a tier rate is applied for a given rate schedule and a tier. For example - Tier 1 for rate schedule EV9 is applicable till a maximum kWh of 1000. |
